Modern Restorations, Exceptional Care

We have completely eliminated old-fashioned silver (amalgam) fillings. Dr. Katrina Zhao focuses exclusively on biocompatible, highly aesthetic solutions.

Tooth-Colored Material

We carefully color-match our premium composite resin to the exact shade of your surrounding enamel, making your filling completely unnoticeable.

Gentle & Pain-Free

We use powerful topical numbing gels before any local anesthetic is applied, ensuring your treatment is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

Preserves Natural Tooth

Unlike metal fillings that require heavy drilling, composite resin bonds directly to the enamel, allowing us to preserve more of your natural tooth structure.

Early Detection

Do I Need a Filling?

Cavities often develop silently. However, as the decay progresses through your enamel and reaches the sensitive inner layers of the tooth, you may begin to notice specific warning signs.

1

Tooth Sensitivity

A sudden, sharp twinge of pain when eating or drinking sweet, hot, or cold items.
2

Visible Holes or Spots

Noticing a visible pit, hole, or brown/black staining on the chewing surface.
3

Floss Tearing

If your dental floss consistently catches, frays, or tears between two specific teeth.

Replacing Old Silver Fillings

Many patients choose to have their highly visible amalgam (silver/metal) fillings safely removed and replaced with modern, tooth-colored composite resin.

Old Amalgam (Metal)

Highly visible and turns black/grey over time.
Requires more healthy tooth structure to be removed.
Expands with temperature, which can crack the tooth.

Modern Composite Resin

Flawlessly color-matched to your natural teeth.
Bonds micro-mechanically, strengthening the tooth.
Preserves significantly more natural tooth structure.
100% metal-free and biocompatible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does getting a tooth filling hurt?

Not at Midas Dental. We use a topical numbing gel to desensitize your gums before administering local anesthesia. You will feel completely numb during the procedure, experiencing only slight pressure, but no pain.

How long does a filling appointment take?

A standard composite filling usually takes between 30 to 45 minutes per tooth. This includes the time needed for the area to become completely numb, removing the decay, and polishing the final restoration.

Can I eat immediately after getting a filling?

Because we use a special light to instantly cure (harden) the composite resin, the filling is fully set before you leave. However, we strongly recommend waiting to eat until the numbness has completely worn off (1-3 hours) to prevent accidentally biting your lip or tongue.

My tooth feels sensitive after a filling, is this normal?

Yes, mild sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures is completely normal for a few days to a couple of weeks after a deep filling. If the sensitivity is severe or lasts longer, please contact our clinic.
